RoS: DLC for QoL?
We talk about Quality of Life changes all the time (and even get them, sometimes) and speculate about DLC features (and never get them), so today in clan chat the topic turned to what sort of QoL you’d pay for. Obviously the usual choices are more stash space and character slots, and a lot of you guys have previously approved paying “plat” for those options. (Hypothetically, of course, as we’re not playing in China.)

Diablo 3 Stash for Cash — China Only
Blizzard’s post about the upcoming microtransactions didn’t specify which Realm or region it would apply to, except to say not on the Americas or European realm. Today there’s a post on the Korean Battle.net forums that says… it’s not coming to Korea either. (The Korean post is just a direct translation of the original Microtransactions post, concluding with “not in this region.”)

Microtransactions Coming to Diablo 3… Asian Realm?
Blizzard has revealed some more details about the game changes coming in Patch 2.2.0… and they’re big news.

How Diablo 3 Auction House Botters Got Rich
Fascinating and very long article by a self-confessed Diablo 3 Auction House botter, talking about how he made over 100k Euros in a year, entirely through buying low and selling high on the AH and RMAH. The article is huge and goes into great detail about everything, including the scripts he used, the multiple machines he had running, and how easy it was to avoid Blizzard’s very lacking anti-botting measures.

Would you pay real money for more Diablo 3 stash and characters?

The Last Day of the Diablo 3 Auction House
It’s the The Last Day of the Diablo 3 Auction House with the shutdown coming up later tonight. It’ll go offline for Americas players during the regular early morning Tuesday maintenance time, and you should check the Auction House FAQ for full details. Now that we’re here, how do you guys feel about this end of an era? The AH has been controversial since it was announced, and while many players have used it extensively and enjoyed it, others feel it’s a terrible game feature (the whole thing and/or especially the Real Money aspect).
